Donald Trump will speak at the Digital Asset Summit (DAS) in New York on March 20, notably, this will be the first time a sitting U.S. president has ever joined a crypto conference.
Just recently, Donald Trump hosted the inaugural White House Crypto Summit. While the crypto community wasn’t thrilled with the outcomes, the event delivered key updates on the US Bitcoin Reserve and shed light on the government’s current approach to crypto regulation.
Could Be A Pre-recorded Message
Some reports suggest that Trump’s appearance at the event may not be live, with some sources hinting at a pre-recorded message instead. Regardless, this still marks a historic moment as the U.S. president is set to formally address a crypto conference.
Donald Trump’s appearance at the Digital Asset Summit comes as the government shows growing interest in Bitcoin and digital currencies. His administration has already made moves to include Bitcoin in national reserves, highlighting its role in the U.S. financial strategy. Trump had previously spoken at a Bitcoin conference in Nashville during his campaign, but this will be his first time addressing a crypto conference directly.
Key Events
At the event, discussions will center on Bitcoin’s adoption by institutions, regulatory updates, and the future of the crypto market. Trump is expected to outline his administration’s next steps on Bitcoin. This comes just hours after Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse revealed that XRP is set to be part of the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, referencing to Trump’s earlier mention of the asset on Truth Social.
FOX business journalist Eleanor Terrett also shared that multiple sources at the DAS Conference have clarified that President Trump is planning to livestream into the event either today or tomorrow to address the audience.
Top Lawmakers To Feature
The summit will bring together top lawmakers like Representatives Ro Khanna and Tom Emmer, along with industry giants like MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse. Michael Saylor will give a keynote speech and join a discussion with BTC historian Pete Rizzo. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart will moderate a panel with key players, including Robbie Mitchnick, Head of Digital Assets at BlackRock, and Giang Bui, Head of U.S. Equities & Exchange-Traded Products at Nasdaq.
Ripple-SEC Lawsuit Ends
In a remarkable update, Garlinghouse revealed today that the SEC has dropped its appeal in the XRP lawsuit, marking a major victory for Ripple and the crypto industry.
The crypto market has been showing signs of recovery this week, following a period of volatility. Besides, the Federal Reserve announced today that it won’t be making any immediate rate cuts. However, the central bank has plans for two rate cuts later this year, which could influence financial markets, including crypto.
